      Hey guys,

      I’m having a small train show for friends and family at my house on December 20th from 2 to 4pm. Address: 283 Kingswood Rd, 16105

      The actual train board is roughly 8×13 feet and features mostly LEGO buildings, trains, and various scenes, as well as a handful of Lionel Trains. This is my first attempt at a LEGO display, so I hope it’s good!

      There will be food and soda for everyone (pizza, cookies, etc). It would mean a lot if anyone from the LUG could make it, but I live about an hour north of Pittsburgh, so I definitely don’t expect many people to make the drive up there, but if people are thinking about it then maybe someone can arrange a carpool up there.

      Here’s a link to the awesome (read: tacky) invitation: http://i.imgur.com/wfb3I4o.jpg

      Hope to see some of you there!

        I can’t commit yet, (you know how the holiday season is), but I’ll see what I can do. Definitely appreciate the ludicrous / hilarious run-on invitation (which I didn’t read during the meeting because that was #srsbiznis).

          Sounds like a good time. I would try to attend but, alas, I’ll be out of town that day. Thanks for the invite!

            Dac, sounds like a great get together. Unfortunately, I have family commitments on Sunday and will not be able to attend. Please take and post pictures to the flickr account of the event. I would love to see your display!

            P.S. Nutter Butter Santa cookies are always awesome. But not gluten free (which I am pretty certain is “a thing”.

              I read the entire invitation. Hawaiian? Needs less fruit and more meat!

                Dac, Do you have any teaser photos?

                    As a matter of fact, I do. I just took these a bit ago. I don’t have any of the lights on, so these aren’t great pics, but it gives you an idea of what I have on display. There’s a lot more where this comes from, though. 😉

                      Nice pictures Zac. My favorite details are: (1) the three sized Bennys; (2) the use of the micro modular for the Z scale layout section, and (3) the elevated rail line.

                      I presume that the plastic tubing contains LEDs. I would love to see a few pictures with those lights on, if you can take some. Have a great time this afternoon.

                        Wow Dac, you have a lot of sets!

                        I like the dual firey tire tracks behind the Delorean. I also thought it was interesting that the Ecto-1 and the Mystery Machine were both at the same haunted house. 🙂 Are your trains 9V, PF or some of each? I’m envious of all that straight train track.

                          tl;dw. But that’s a valid point. #eatmorchikin

                          Nice pictures Zac.

                          Who’s Zac?

                            You just love catching my typos! “Dac”.

                              I’ll definitely take some pics with the lights turned on. I’ll take some videos, too. 🙂
